Critical Access Hospital Annual Report
As a Critical Access Hospital, Lucas County Health Center is required to document compliance with Federal regulations and Critical Access Hospital Conditions of Participation. To do so, LCHC carries out a yearly evaluation of its program, including a review of service utilization and the number of patients served, an annual review of policy and procedures, and a sample of both active and closed clinical records.
Additionally, our performance review touches on service volume, type of service, trends, concerns, and accomplishments. Our Leadership Team and Board of Trustees use this information to develop action plans, including opportunities for improvement.
